I want to produce multiple indices in the same document; the actual use case
is 
separate indices for new and deprecated interfaces in some API reference
documentation.
A very natural way to implement that would be to use the role attribute on
the indexterms and
the index elements:

<indexterm role="deprecated">old_func</indexterm>

...

<index role="deprecated"/>


Unfortunately, the xsl stylesheets don't support this. A patch to implement
it has been attached to RFE 713566 some time ago. It would be great if this
could be incorporated in the xsl stylesheets.

Thanks,

Matthias
